Full Description
With contributions from a team of specialists, Women's Issues in Thrombosis and Hemostasis examines the background and current management of a range of topics. Along with a comprehensive overview of basic principles, the book explores common clinical issues, including complications of pregnancy, such as inherited or acquired thrombophilia and the risk of venous thrombosis; how complications affect the fetus and neonate; bleeding disorders; and thrombosis and the use of contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Hematologists, gynecologists, obstetricians, neonatologists and other researchers in the field will find this a valuable resource for both clinical practice and research work.
